While talking, he walked and slowly came to Uncle Ji's house. Aunt Ji poured water for us, and Uncle Ji took the Dingjiang spear in my hand and stood in the corner, beckoned us to sit down, and then began to continue:

"That afternoon, my master hurried over. He was nearly 90 years old at the time, but he heard that the monsters in the river were harmful, so he hurried over.

My master used to be a spiritual official of the Yin River, and he killed a lot of underwater monsters, and then because he was too old, he used his life savings to build a Taoist temple on the dragon vein next to the river eye, and he himself lived in that Taoist temple. Because the name of that Taoist temple is called Dinghe Xuanguan, everyone respectfully calls my master the head of Dinghe River, and what he has experienced in his life is a real legend! But when the time comes, I'll tell you about this, and I'll tell you about what happened after my master came to me. ”

Speaking of this, Uncle Ji paused and began to recall the situation at that time: "After my master came here, he first went into the house and carefully asked the people who had participated in fishing and eating fish, and when he heard them say that the big carp was caught in the waterhole in the middle of the river beach, my master's face suddenly became very ugly, and his mouth kept blaming those people: "Why do you want to violate the rules of fishermen?" You know, this body of water has dried up, and that waterhole has nothing to do at all, which means that there must be something wrong with that waterhole. And that carp is so big, you even stew it and eat it. There must be a demon when things go wrong, and that big carp should also be a spiritual creature that has been cultivated for many years. ”

When those people saw that my master's face was very ugly, they knelt down and begged my master to save their lives, and I also asked my master for help. Unexpectedly, my master directly scolded me loudly: "They have broken the rules of the fishermen and the river gods, and they will naturally get the retribution they deserve, why do you want to interfere?" Besides, that carp won't grow so big in a few decades or hundreds of years, if you offend it, do you think it will let you go easily? ”

My master scolded me, and then turned his head and began to reprimand the few people who participated in fishing or eating fish: "The Yellow River has never dried up so much for thousands of years, and the contract between the monster humans and the river god under the water has never been broken, and now that you have taken the initiative to violate the contract, I can only do my best!" As for whether we can save you, we don't know yet! ”

An older man hurriedly knelt down on his knees in front of my master, pleading bitterly with a handful of snot and tears: "Old Daoist, I have an octogenarian mother and an eight-year-old child below. Please, the Taoist must save your life! ”

In the end, my master nodded helplessly and agreed: "Okay! I'll do my best and give it a try! ”

After saying that, my master quickly asked them to cut off their hair and nails, and then wrapped them in a piece of yellow paper, and finally Master used cinnabar mixed with rooster blood to write their birth dates on the corresponding yellow paper packets.

"Master, you're doing something for them... Before I could finish my sentence, my master glared at me fiercely. I quickly shut my mouth, after all, the thing that possessed the body and killed two people in a row was hidden nearby.

My master also instructed me to hurry up and make a few scarecrows that were about the same size as living people, and then stuffed a yellow paper bag with the eight characters of birth date written on it into the scarecrow's body.

So, my master and I moved to the waterhole where they had been fishing at 10 o'clock at noon, when the sun was scorching and the sun was strong.

My master used a mahogany cane to hang a gossip mirror next to the waterhole, and the sunlight reflected by the gossip mirror shone right in the middle of the waterhole. After a while, a trace of white gas came out of the waterhole and hit my master and me, and even the gossip mirror was shattered by the white gas. The peachwood cane standing by the pond broke directly into several pieces.

When my master saw this, his face changed and he shouted, "Oops, run... After saying that, he pulled me and hurriedly turned around and ran

I looked back as I ran. I was stunned. I saw a large puff of white smoke coming out of the waterhole, and swept the scarecrows into the waterhole.

After running a certain distance, my master said to me out of breath, "Originally, I wanted to make a stand-in for a few of them and throw them in the pool, and then put on the offerings for a good sacrifice." I didn't expect people to appreciate it at all! Alas! Things are getting harder and harder. Go and get them here, and let them stay at your house one more night tonight, and we'll make a break with that thing tonight!" I still have a thousand-year-old demon cat nedan in my bag. Take it out! Maybe use it tonight. ”

"The Nedan of the thousand-year-old demon cat? That's right! Ever since they ate that big carp, it seems that that thing is the big carp that has cultivated under the water, and the cat likes to eat fish the most, so the demon cat's Neidan may have a certain deterrent effect on it. "I suddenly remembered that Master asked me to take that thousand-year-old demon cat's Inner Dan, maybe that's what it does.

"Hmmm! Of course, there are many ways to live, and tonight, the two of us will set up a formation here and wait for that thing to come again! My master wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and smiled slightly. I hastened to gather the few who had not yet happened into my yard and covered the ground with lime. Even if the thing could be invisible, the lime-covered ground would always make it visible. Speaking of this, Uncle Ji sighed, and his face was suddenly filled with sadness.

"And then? Was that thing wiped out? Is it really the big carp that cultivated into refinement? Aren't carps generally cultivating to become Ao or Jiaolong? Besides, the carp has been a symbol of good luck since ancient times, how can it possess and harm people? Jiang Yimeng's words rang in my ears like a machine gun.

"As far as I know, that big carp has been devouring the corpse in the water in the Yellow River all year round, in addition to the corpse qi on the corpse, coupled with the nourishment of the yin qi under the water, it has entered the demon path and completely turned into a fish demon. And its cultivation path should be hundreds of years old. Because the waters were dry, it used its spiritual power to protect the water source in the pool, and those few fishermen directly fished it ashore when its spiritual power was weak and its vitality was greatly damaged, and it was also stewed and eaten. Although its body has been destroyed, its primordial spirit is still there! So at that time, it was its original god who possessed and killed people. Fortunately, my master succeeded in destroying its primordial spirit, but my master also died of his injuries that time. Speaking of this, Uncle Ji wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He still seems to be saddened by his master's departure.
